      First (printed) prototype of my book, with a temporary cover, and no photos – but every single word of the text all there. Already with tons of sticky notes for all the things I noticed that need fixing.pic.twitter.com/UJ0ZF8bBgh

      You know what was surprisingly emotional? Seeing a table of contents with page numbers, and then being able to go to that page and just… start reading.

      A friend of mine was leafing through it on Friday and said “every time I go to another random page I see something interesting.” ^_^pic.twitter.com/L29jqtPov4 – at Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment

      In the meantime, adding a new keyboard recorder to my 20-plus-year-old awful Pascal code just in time for tomorrow’s newsletter: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/ … (I’ve never before written Pascal while having internet a keystroke away to answer any questions I could had.)pic.twitter.com/HBn1Pf25l9

      In an old catalogue, yet another illustration that seems to perfectly summarize my life. (Previous one: https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/939584916756369408 …)pic.twitter.com/KyzMwDFGIi

      An amazing benefit of being loud about the book writing process is that people volunteer little anecdotes and stories like this delightful one:https://medium.com/@capek/a-propos-of-nothing-i-offer-the-following-which-seems-somehow-relevant-34724ae51b58 …

      I am often amazed and often overwhelmed by the range and scope of tasks necessary to write this book, particularly since I’m also aiming to typeset and design it.

      Perhaps Shift Happens could be its own periodical someday

      I mean, the newsletter is kind of becoming its own body of work at this point.

          Seriously! And it’s so fun to read. I can imagine a “keyboard of the week” section going forward.
